Does this have an air makeup?

Not according to any insurance company I've spoken to. I tried explaining this to them over and over and they just try to weasel their way out of anything! I agree on letting the car go. It's totaled for a reason.. it's not worth fixing. I have to deal with this weekly and to me it rarely makes...

Sounds like a business opportunity for yourself?

Lookin good

You can always negotiate a higher settlement if you can find comparable vehicles. They need to be the same make, model and trim level with the same mileage. AllState is one of top ten worst insurance companies to have, they find the cheapest parts possible to minimize the claim severity. Don't...

You're free to keep walking if you want.

Car 1967 Dart GT Roller This is a major project that I just do not have time for anymore. I am going to put it for sale for 30 days. If it doesn't sell I am going to cut it up and part it out. I DO NOT have a title for this car. I was going to get one via the Vermont loophole but that has been...

I see that kid and short videos on Facebook all the time. I think he's awesome.

Was killed in a car accident on the 11th. He had four small children. I'm just posting this to try to help the family as much as I can. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Just out of high school my two best friends were also killed on November 11th. It isn't a good day. Thanks, Colin...

I'm glad to hear you did this. I hate State Farm with a passion and advise all of my customers to leave them as soon as possible. I have three vehicles in the shop right now that they flat out have refused to pay certain portions of our repairs. They basically tell their insured that if they...

Pics. I also forgot I have a new painted driver side hood hinge. If I get time I will install it. The current one flexes and doesn't let the hood sit flush to the cowl.

I didn't realize you were so close. I should have you come look at my shaking 318 someday!

Southern Wisconsin today out my office window.

I'm sure many companies would bundle home and auto to give you a good discount. The funny part is with companies like Progressive is they make you pay a premium rate, and you get tier 3 service. When you do have a claim you get the worst quality repairs possible because they force a shop to use...

I work in the auto claims industry... (body shop manager and painter). I laugh when all the "old" people come in and "brag" about being with one company for 42 years.... Why are you loyal to a company that dicks us over every day of our lives? The value of your car goes DOWN every year.... but...

I emailed them yesterday asking what their position is on it and if they offer any type of warranty for delamination. I also asked about a month ago about some additional parts I wanted to order and nobody has ever responded. They used to respond to email very quickly.

I've bought and used over 35k in Amd sheet metal in the last three years.... I have sanded it and the ecoating rolls off of it in most cases. Secondly, the texture of ecoating is rough, porus and has many imperfections, which means you'll need to sand it to remove all of the imperfections...

Why did you strip them? I read this somewhere else and it's exactly right... You want to trust a 20k paint job on a 10 year old Taiwan boy making .60/hour ..... If you've seen any RECENT OEM quality Ecoat you can only imagine how bad an aftermarket suppliers e coat would be.

Did you sand them all off to confirm?

We use structural adhesive on box sides that are black... imagine them sitting in the sun in August.... The one thing you should be concerned with is how some adhesives tend to GROW as they cure... they will bulge and deform the area that has been glued.... structural adhesive does not grow as...

You need to read the product sheet for the epoxy you are using. Every manufacturer is going to suggest what they recommend for THEIR product to be sprayed over. SPI Suggests 80 grit. PPG Suggests for DPLF 80-180. Sikkens EPII epoxy suggests 180-320 In my experience the beauty of epoxy is...

I would use SEM structural adhesive. It has microscopic beads in it that doesn't allow over clamping. You also have a good window of application time. The SEM structural panel bond is less runny than 3m's version. I use structural panel bond on a lot of sheet metal replacement. We make some...

You'd be surprised at what you find under aftermarket e coat. Oem not so much.

A few more.

Here are some compressor updates. New wheels added to move around the shop easier when I finish my walls. I assembled the pump today. I ended up honing both cylinders as they were a bit glazed.

This depends on how well you trust the manufacturers ecoat process. If you trust that it is actually bonded to the metal then you can sand it with 320-400 red scuff and epoxy from there. If it were me I'd strip them to bare metal and epoxy them immediately.... then proceed from there. New modern...

A man of many talents. Nice job Rob.
